LOOK AT THE SIZE
of the ordinary pill. Think of all
the trouble and disturbance it causes
you. Wouldn't you welcome some
thing easier to take, and easier in
its ways, if at the same time it did
you more good? That is the case
with Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
They're the smallest in size, the
mildest in action, but the most
"thorough and far-reaching in re

ods, and they give help that lasts.

" If we can't cure your Catarrh,

;prove, better than any words could,
'that this is a remedy that cures
Catarrh ? Costs only 50 cents.

An Egyptian shopkeeper had a deity

tLast June, Dick Crawford brought Lis
twelve months old child, Buffering from
infantile diarrhoea, to me. It had been
vMeaned at four months old and being
'-stefcly everything ran through it like
water through a sieve. I 'give it the
usual treatment in soch cases, but with
- ut 'benefit. The child kept growing
'thinner until it weighed bat little more
' than' when born, or perhaps ten pounds.
1 then started the father to giving
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
'Diarrhoea Remedy. Before one bottle
of the 25 cent siise had been used, a
. marked improvement was seen and its
continued use cnred the child. Its
vyeakness nnd puny constitntion disap
peared and its father and myself believe
the child's life was saved by this remedy.

That New York is the grand center
for competent stenographers and e
short-lived rendezvous for incompe
tents is frankly admitted. Yet, of the
estimated thirty thousand stenograph
ers and typewriters in the city to-day.
the proportion who are a credit to the
shorthand profession is said to be sur
prisingly small. A veteran phono
prapher in touch with the progress of
the art recently said: "Here in this
city there are every year a legion of
young people who commence the study
of shorthand through the ill advice of
parents or friends, without making the
first inquiry into the mental or phys-
ical qualities requisite in the make-up
of a skillful stenographer; hence it is
that only about one person in twenty
ever reaches the goal of success."
One instructor says much more is ex
pected of a stenographer to-day than
ever before, and more talent is re
quired here in New York city than in
any other place he -knows of in this
country. , Business men no longer
tutor and humor incompetent em
ployes, bchools are demanding a
higher standard of excellence than
ever before. We will not recommend
a pupil for a position until he has
passed a technically rigid examination
in taking- from dictation and properly
transcribing all forms of office corre
spondence, legal matter in the form of
complaints, answers, affidavits, agree
ments, testimony, specifications.amend
ments and other details. Besides
this, we frequently dictate extracts
from magazines, newspapers and en
cyclopaedias. Only a few years ago the prediction
was made that shorthand schools must
decrease their production of graduates,
or, as a natural result, one of. two
things was imminent among shorthand
writers a reduction of wages or a
raising of the degree of excellence re
quired for the obtaining of employ
ment. The latter alternative seems to
be rapidly approaching. Probably fifty
per cent, more shorthand skill and gen
eral education is to-day required to
hold a good position in New York city
than was needed five years ago. When
questioned as to this the above in
structor said:
"Work here is done quickly and sys
tematically, and the stenographer who
succeeds in this busy metropolis must
know & great many things besides
having-' the mere ability to make
marks and operate a typewriter. He
must have education, skill and discern
ment, and be able to use shorthand
and to typewrite with great intelli
gence. One year's training in a busi
ness house here is conceded to be as
valuable, from a practical point of
view, as three years' training in many
other large cities. '
"That this fact is rapidly becoming
known and appreciated is shown by
the steadily increasing number of
young people who come here from a
distance to learn and practice the art.
They come to this city from Florida,
Kansas, California. Cuba, Spain, and,
indeed, from all over the world: yet,
despite this great influx, salaries here
range higher than in any other part of
the country. In Chicago, for instance,
many stenographers last summer ac
cepted positions at three or four dol
lars less per week than they would re
ceive here.
Our best short-hand schools now re
quire an entrance education. Candi
dates for admission are closely exam
ined in spelling, punctuation, penman
ship, English composition, geography
and many other vital points, and there
is no hesitancy in rejecting any appli
cant who is disqualified. Only a few
years ago the average speed necessary
to answer the requirements of an
amanuensis was seventy to ' one hun
dred words per minute, while at the
present time a rate of less than one
hundred and twenty words per minute
is deemed inadequate.
"Of high-grade stenographers," said
Mr Snyder of the Remington bureau,
"there is not half enough to meet the
demands. Through this agency alone,
three thousand stenographers and
typewritists were last year recom
mended to paying positions. Of this
number, probably two-thirds were
young women.
"It is curious to note," he added,
"that the young men who come to New
York from the country meet the re
quirements far better than those who
are residents of the city. The former
"come here with a definite aim and pur
pose, look upon their position and sur
roundings more 6eriouslyl and work
with much greater earnestness and sin
cerity." She Lines to Get Even.
"If there is one thing more than an
other thatpleases me. it is to get even
with a grumpy man," said a bright
girl in our hearing the other day. "The
other nipht a man and I were out walk
ing and he asked me into a drug store
to have some soda. Before we ordered
he asked the proprietor it he could
change a ten dollar bill and that indi
vidual snapped out 'No' as though my
escort had insulted him. Leaving me
seated there, my man friend went
across the way, where -he secured the
change right readily, and when he
came back we sat down to vanilla soda
and lemon phosphate. When every
drop was gone fifty cents was offered in
payment, and I was just tickled to
death when the cross old thing couldn't
change that either. There we were in
two drinks and the crabbed druggist
had to see us depart without his pay.
My friend wanted to go back and pay
him later, but I told him if he did I
would never speak to him again. Oh.
it was just lovely," said the little
vixen, as she showed her white teeth
as they snapped together on . a choc
olate caramel and beamed in vicious
glee over the memory of one poor man's
discomfiture. Philadelphia Times.
